A Testimony to the Great War
From mobilisation in 1914 to the Armistice in 1918, 'Fields Of Memory' recounts the key events of the First World War, including the battles of Marne, Ypres, Flanders, Verdun, Somme and Passchendaele. The book draws on a wide variety of contemporary material, including journals, letters, newspaper reports and the writings of key literary figures of the time, such as Wilfred Owen, Erich Maria Remarque, Andre Maurois and Siegfried Sassoon.
This evocative history is beautifully illustrated with a combination of pictures and photographs from before the war, during the war and photographs showing the battlefields as they are today. John Foley's serene photographs of the present day landscape contrast starkly with the wartime pictures to create a vivid and moving record of the war.
